JSH mod for Theatre of War

Version 1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 changes:

1. Pz-IVC skins now display properly.

2. Balkenkreuz markings on German tanks now display properly.

3. PaK-97/38 technical grouping corrected.

4. American 76mm ammo types and names corrected.

5. American 76mm AP round M79 added.

6. Penetration values of American and British guns corrected - recalculated to Soviet (more strict) standards to make them match penetration values of German and Soviet guns (in vanilla ToW Soviet data was used only for German and Soviet equipment while Allied data was used for Allied guns, thus giving them an advantage). Calculations are based on gun ballistics and Soviet firing range tests data.

8. English tanks now have these main guns:

A30 Challenger I - 17_pdr_OQF_Mk_IV

New feature – New multiplayer mode “Meeting engagement”

Players in "Meeting engagement" multiplayer mode must capture and hold pre-defined area on the map, 'the zone'. To capture this area, send any unit to it - timer will start, showing time left before you win the mission. If enemy units enter this area as well, timer pauses. If player, who captured the area first, manages to wipe out or force to move outside the zone units of another player, timer resumes. In case if another player destroys units of first player or forces them to retreat from the zone timer is reset and begins it's countdown for the victor from the start. When timer reaches zero, player who held the zone is declared a winner.

Borders of the zone are defined in mission briefing and minimap. In addition, there is a special flag in the zone which changes it's color to color of the player who controls the zone in any given moment. If there are no units of any player in the zone, color of this flag is grey.

Unfortunately, because of multiplayer code implementation, placement of this flag is correct only for server player. Clients will see this flag in different place on the map, so they should use the minimap to determine zone location and it's borders.

1. «Meeting engagement (1939-40) (JSH)»

Cheers for reply sneaksie,im for the 88mm as BAT502 mentioned as well,im also for as few other vehicles not seen like the priest 105 SP gun for the yanks as that was such an icon vehicle in my opinion,and with the russians having the IS2 and the germans the king tiger i was surprised that the english never got the centurion (yes they were available 2 wks before the end of the war) looking forward to having the time to mod this game anywho. :)

Hey Sneaksie,

First of all thanks for this great mod. I really like it.

I just have one little problem:

I'm playing the German version of TOW (with über-patch of course) and it doesn't display the names of the new units. For example the Panzer IV F1 has no name, but just a questionmark where the name is supposed to be.

I guess this is because I have the German version. Do you know which file to edit to give them new units some names?

Regarts, Dendro.
